128 KING STREET, south side of King Street between
Second and Third Streets, Lot 23 in Assessor's Block 3794 -- Staff Initiated
Discretionary Review of Building Permit Application Nos. 9725403, 9725404,
9801069, and 9801070, proposing to rehabilitate, seismically upgrade and re-use
the existing vacant unreinforced masonry warehouse building into art,
restaurant and multimedia space. The proposed project also includes the
addition of a partial mezzanine level within the building and a penthouse
addition on the fourth floor. The
project site is within the M-2 (Heavy Industrial) District, a 105-X Height and
Bulk District, within the proposed Ballpark Vicinity Special Use District's
South End Office District, and is a Contributory Building to the South End
Historic District.By Resolution
14844, the Planning Commission adopted a policy of Automatic Discretionary
Review for project or permit applications that do not meet the more restrictive
provisions of the proposed South End permanent controls.Under these controls the proposed
project would be required to receive Conditional Use Authorization for the bar
and restaurant use, and is therefore currently subject to the Discretionary
Review process.

128 KING STREET, south side of King Street between
Second and Third Streets, Lot 23 in Assessor's Block 3794.Request for an off-street parking
variance from the Planning Coderequired 54 off-street parking spaces.Section 151 of the Planning Code requires in total 112
off-street parking spaces for the proposed mixed uses at the site.However, the existing warehouse
building was constructed in 1913 without providing any on-site parking spaces.Therefore there is a current parking
deficiency of 58 off-street parking spaces for the previous warehouse use on
the site,thereby reducing the
amount of the Planning Code required off-street parking for the new proposed
uses to 54 spaces.No off-street
parking spaces are proposed.The
project site is within the M-2 (Heavy Industrial) District, a 105-X Height and
Bulk District, within the proposed Ballpark Vicinity Special Use District's
South End Office District, and is a Contributory Building to the South End
Historic District.

1401 DOUGLASS STREET, southeast corner at Duncan Street, Lot No.020 in
Assessor's Block 6605 -- Request for Discretionary Review of Building Permit
Application Nos. 200002252837, 200002252844 and 200002252847 for demolition of
an existing one-story-over-garage, single-family dwelling. The proposal
includes the subdivision of the subject lot into two legal lots and
construction of a new single-family dwelling unit on each new parcel. The
subject lot is zoned RH-1 (House, One-Family) and 40-X Height and Bulk
District.

Preliminary Recommendation: Take
Discretionary Review and approve the project with conditions

Preliminary Recommendation: It is the Department's view that the proposed third
floor addition is within the buildable area of the lot and meets the minimum
criteria of the volume and mass of the Residential Design Guidelines. The issue
of light, air and view from the site of the Discretionary Review requester's
building is not compelling enough to warrant a disapproval of the proposed
third floor addition. The Department therefore recommends that the Commission
do not take a Discretionary Review and approve the project as proposed.
